This was the groom's cake at Carrie D.'s wedding, made by her friend and fellow Wreckie Sara T.:

(Check back tomorrow for the wedding cake - it's as pretty as this is Wrecky. Heh.)

And Max of Freed's Bakery sent me this hilarious homage specially requested by one of their customers:

I love these combo Wrecks. Can you spot them all? Don't miss the open book with "The End" behind the baby. (Don't remember that one? It's in the book.)

And finally, some of you may remember Breanna K., who won Best in Show at the AZ cake show last year while wearing a CW shirt. Well, Breanna's back, and she won again! This time, she wore a different CW shirt, too:

This cake took 1st in semi-pro, people's choice, and decorators' choice. Be sure to check out Breanna's Cakes for more of her award-winning work!

Breanna, I think I speak for us all when I say it's a crying shame you haven't started your own cake business yet. Wowza.

And to the rest of you: rest assured I read and enjoy your every e-mail, but there are simply too many for me to post all of your pics. Therefore only the most creative/amazing/funny stuff will get on the blog.

Steph H., incredibly well done! Love it--and like the others, I agree that you deserve special kudos for the shoes. Too great.

And I also find Jesus' look of consternation pretty funny. Unfortunate though...I personally think Jesus has enough perspective that He could appreciate the absurdity and humor of naked mohawk baby carrot jockeys.

Those are awesome! I told my friends I wanted a Wreck for my birthday, so they ordered me a cake that said "Happy Birhtday?"The decorator looked at us like we were drunk. To be fair, it was a college town on Homecoming Friday, so they probably do get a lot of drunk people in the grocery store.

Eh... I can't say I like the tomb wrecks site at all. interesting idea, but i can't help but feel sorry for the families, especially knowing that people make fun of what they chose to put on their loved one's tombstone.

The grammar mistakes are one thing, but if someone choses to put a car, a soccer ball, and a cross country emblem on their 20 year old son's tombstone, who are we to laugh at that? It's what they remember their son by.

Not to be a debbie downer or anything... and if you enjoy it, then by all means, i won't try to stop you. It's just not for me.

VERY unimpressed by Tomb Wrecks. So far below the level of humor here, in fact, more often than not, quite offensive. Making fun of the tombstones of five-year-olds, for instance, is not my cup of tea, and I must say that I'm surprised it is yours.

Wow. That tomb wreck site is in awful taste. These people are gone and what we might find funny or stupid, they might have meaning to friends or family. And I don't care what it looks like- Kids tombstones should be off limits. How can you find anything remotely funny about a marker of a 6 year old?

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
